  • As far as I know, iPhones have no monthly detail. It’s only ‘since statistics was last reset’. I haven’t reset, but I got a new phone in October, so I have 16 hours of data, 292G since then

    …… which is not at all similar to what my cell provider thinks

    Edit: looking a bit further down the screen, apparently statistics aren’t reset with a new iPhone. 292G since July 31, 2018, which averages about 3.2G/month if my math is right, and that is similar to my cell providers data


  • I wish op posted a current picture - I missed Central Park the last few times I visited nyc.

    I don’t know if we really have similar opportunities here in the Boston areas, but we have a lot of places pedestrianizing downtowns. While we had some for many years, pandemic was a big trigger, but very few became permanent and too many were given back to cars.

    I’m especially annoyed at my town. We have a classic “Main Street” with shops and restaurants, right near a train station, commons, museum, etc. they’ve been pushing it for decades as a walkable place …. Businesses got tons of extra traffic when it was pedestrianized. They kept it for summer weekends but just stopped doing that too.

    Most residents wanted permanent, town council wanted it permanent …. But we have a strong mayor who didn’t



  • I really think the difference is those who listen to Drump and those who don’t. If you’ve voted Republican all your life and same for all your friends and family members, and don’t really pay attention to the news, have never seen the decades of cons, most importantly never listen to an actual speech, you may think he’s conservative. Tells it like it is. Good for the economy (because of course republicans are).

    It’s only those of us who pay attention who are horrified










  • their economic model is better than the West’s.

    Policy. Their economic policy is better. Their government has some far-reaching strategies, creates comprehensive policies to develop them, and maintains those policies consistently across many years. They effectively guide competition and long term vision into their market, just like any competent government ought to do

    That’s also the biggest place we’re failing. Lack of vision, lack of strategy, no consistency. Even worse when your administration enriches themselves, plays favorites, outright takes bribes, holds themselves above the law, rules out of spite and personal feelings, focuses only on short term
